It was too much to hope for a bright sparkly sunrise with all the clouds overhead but a late cold front brought energizing cool air so we got energetic did Rusty and I.
I went bird spotting and he went looking for other things which he did not seem to find whatever they were.
And I can walk gravel trails, at least some of them, even without my cane which I am trying to ditch to encourage me to walk straight.
The surgeon told me most of the physical improvement I will see will come in the first year of recovery so I am exercising like mad, walking Rusty and going to the gym to make my legs work properly.

I'm 56 and had my share of major surgeries. I'd say 85% of improvement happens within a year with FULL improvement at three years. After year one the RATE of improvement slows down... a Bell curve flattening out into the future. The good news though is that pain continues to decrease on a flatter more proportional level for the whole three years, or at least improvements are not so completely biased towards year one. That's because nerves heal more slowly than any other tissue type.
Glad you are out exercising (walking) with Rusty. I am hoping every day is still better than the last for you.
And if you are cleared for riding again that will bring a little extra joy (and probably apprehension) into life.
